Solution

The correct option is A $10 - 25 m m H g$
The kidney plays the primary role in the formation of urine. Nephrons are the structural and functional unit of the kidneys. A tuft of capillaries present in nephrons is known as a glomerulus. Glomerular filtration takes place in the glomerulus. This filtration is promoted by a pressure gradient of $10 - 25 m m H g$ .
